Abstract
Anther extrusion (AE) is a trait that has been studied in wheat for its influence on Fusarium

head blight. Fusarium is a disease causing great problems in Nordic small grain production,

particularly in oat. However, AE is little studied in oat. In this thesis the variation of AE was

studied in RILs of two oat crosses, Svea × Stormogul and Fiia × Stormogul, and in a

collection of 146 genotypes, mainly of Nordic origin. Both crosses showed high heritability

for AE over two greenhouse experiments, and was estimated to be controlled by 4 and 6 genes

respectively. The association between AE and other traits was assessed, with lemma color

indicating linkage clearest. Two experiments with drought before anthesis gave lower AE in

all genotypes exposed to drought. Variation of extrusion was not found between branches in

the panicle, but between the 1st and 2nd florets. Neither the difference in swelling of lodicules

nor the lengths of filaments seemingly cause differences in AE. The association between AE

and DON was not convincing, but the percent florets with remaining anthers gave a ‘fan

shape’ when plotted against DON. Emasculated florets infected with Fusarium graminearum

indicated the same effect, with lowered DON level when anthers were removed.
